Perfect Ski Day

 Sunny, 30 degrees, and fresh man-made snow made for perfect east-coast skiing conditions. The west can have all that annoying powder.

The entire mountain was open ... including Far Side and Ledgewood.

  

RJ looks for any jump he can find. Fortunately they made some 'authorized' jumps on Jib-Junction.

Julia learned to do ski the 'box' on Jib Junction.

The Springers joined our quarantine group so RJ and Julia could hang out with Summer and Sedona. A great time was had by all!

Boys and Bibles

Sara thought this was a funny picture ... the boys reading the Bible. I have been trying to learn more about the history of the old testament. Now I know why it is called 'the passover' and the origin of the term 'shekel' that Grandad used growing up.

Hiking the High Road

 Ski passes were sold out, but that didn't stop Julia and me from having fun! We hiked up the Blue mountain bike trail labeled "High Road - 5". We saw some deer, followed rabbit tracks, and drew in the snow.

The Perfect Guacamole

 Guacamole and chips is a favorite for lunch as well as a side for taco night. RJ always insists on more salt. Here he is making the 'perfect' mix.
